[QUOTE="shootandfish1, post: 368355, member: 5184"] I just wrote a long narrative on edit and 'timed' out. Bottom line-after the first piece was welded, I had 6 more stirps welded where the hulll is 'V' shaped, sorry, no pics. and had over 80 leaks...........The keel is 3/16 structrual aluminum and the 2 hull sections are marine alloy aluminum. Welder, vocational trained and has an excellent reputation as the best aluminum welder in my area, had no experience with marine alloy (bass boats are preferred here). He did try to make it right and after 6 return trips over a month, got all the leaks fixed except for 1 minor one and I'm going to try West System G-flex epoxy. [/QUOTE]
